Waddington v. Sarausad
United States Supreme Court; Case No. 07-772
Prior Decision
Opinion below 479 F.3d 671
Argument(s)
Jury instructions may be a “formally correct” statement of state law and still be so ambiguous as to be misleading; court below correctly determined that the instructions deprived the defendant of his constitutional right to have a jury determine every element of the charged offense of aiding and abetting murder.
